   Hello everyone,i bought new parts to make PC. I've connected everything like in instruction and I got problem when running PC :"no cable connected" on my monitor. I've read all posts on forum about this problem(I belive i did...). So first of all list of components:

What I have:
Monitor  BenQ-GL2460HM-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor + HDMI cable 
PSU: be quiet! BN224 Pure Power L8 600W 80 Plus Bronze
CPU Cooler: be quiet! BK013 SHADOW ROCK 2 CPU Cooler 180W
CPU: Intel Core I5-6600k
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX, DDR4, 16GB(2x8GB), 3000MHz (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15R)
Motherboard: ASRock Gaming K4, Intel Z170, 4x DDR4, SATA3, USB 3.0, GBLAN, ATX
SSD: Crucial MX300 525GB SATA3 (CT525MX300SSD1) (not connected yet so it shouldn't be a problelm)
Graphics: Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 AMP! 6GB GDDR5 (192 Bit) 3xDP, HDMI, DVI. BOX (ZT-P10600B-10M)
Computer Case: be quiet! SILENT BASE 800 + some be quiet! Pure Wings 2 PWM (BL040)
What I don't have today:
Buzzer
DVI-D cable
What have I done so far:
Monitor+HDMI: I've checked and it's working on my laptop so monitor should not be a problem(maybe i should use DVI-D cable instead of HDMI but I don't have one).
I've connected every cable that should be connected to PSU (CPU power on left-top of MB; 20+4P cable to MB; Even a MOLEX on MB). When i run the PC the Fans are working and the BIOS red lamp is ON.
CPU pins are fine, also CPU is connected well.
I've checked that the RAM is compatible with MB. I also tried to move RAM to configurations:
A2+B2(Black one); A1+B1(Red one); Only A1(closest to CPU) ;Only B2(farthest to CPU). Nothing worked.
I didn't connect the Graphics/SSD so it should not be a problem (I don't have windows 10 installed yet, i want to do it from USB). Anyway connecting GPU and then HDMI to GPU wont work.
The MB is NOT in the Computer Case, it's on the cardboard box so it also should not be a problem.
Everytime I change something in configuration i reset BIOS with jumper and out&in BIOS battery.

Someone asked for BIOS version, on MB there are two sticker that says "P2.20" So i guess both BIOS versions are P2.20. But I have no idea how to update it/check it in other way without monitor.

Does anyone have idea what can I do ? Please help :)

	Welcome to the forums and thank you for the comprehensive post First up, make sure your CPU power cable (8pin) is the correct one not an 8pin PCIe power cable. Secondly, make sure the RAM is seated properly, just one stick in A1 or B1 for now. The Gaming series boards have nice tight fitting RAM slots so be sure it is pushed in all the way. Lastly, for now at least, make sure you unplug the power from the PSU when you remove the BIOS battery. Leave the battery out for 20 mins or so to make sure it clears properly.
